This section gives grades to Democratic presidential candidates for their conduct during the campaign. Joe Lieberman: "C" for general likeability. For a Republican, John McCain has quite a following among Democrats--especially those running for president. But now Joe Lieberman has taken his McCain identification to a whole new level: He's making it the centerpiece of his New Hampshire primary strategy. Last week, the Lieberman campaign unveiled a new TV ad touting endorsements from seven Granite State independents who voted for McCain in New Hampshire's 2000 Republican primary. But there's something a little desperate about Lieberman's latest attempt to ride McCain's coattails. Dick Gephardt: "D" for intellectual honesty. Lately, Gephardt has taken the attacks too far, accusing Dean of compassionless budget-cutting. Some of these details are technically correct, but Dean's overall record when it comes to health care generally, and Medicaid specifically, is about as good as it gets in U.S. politics these days. Howard Dean: "D" for intellectual honesty. For all his outspokenness, there are some things that Howard Dean apparently doesn't want to talk about. Before he left office last January, the Vermont governor stuck a ten-year seal on his public papers and correspondence, sending them to a warehouse in a remote part of the state.

Presents several briefs pertaining to political news in the United States as of January 26, 2004. Carol Moseley Braun may barely register in the polls, but odds are that she'll emerge from the primaries victorious. Nothing more handily sums up her campaign than the fact that, although she has no policy papers, Moseley Braun provides reporters with a thick folder of clippings refuting the various allegations against her, which she dubs "the Nasties." Rehabilitation may not be a noble reason to run for president, but, in one of the surprises of the campaign, Moseley Braun may be achieving it nonetheless. Then, last week, in a similar display of good sense, Moseley Braun made a point of chastising Al Sharpton after the Harlem hustler scurrilously bashed Dean for failing to appoint any "blacks or browns" to his Vermont--Vermont! On Sunday, former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill gave CBS's "60 Minutes" a televised peek into his new tell-all book The Price of Loyalty (written by Ron Suskind), in which he refers to President Bush as "a blind man in a room full of deaf people" and portrays his administration as ideologically entrenched and intellectually dishonest. Less than 24 hours later, Treasury spokesman Rob Nichols announced that the Department's inspector general was opening an investigation into whether O' Neill had spirited classified documents out of his office.

The article presents a profile of Joe Trippi, the veteran Democratic organizer who has harnessed the power of IT to run Howard Dean's campaign for the U.S. presidency. Trippi is first and foremost an organizer--a man who has spent much of his career making sure the right number of bodies turn up on Election Day. And for good reason: In the Democratic primaries, where turnout is extremely low, the better-organized campaign almost always wins.Of course, Dean's rivals realize this as well. Their campaigns are all staffed by seasoned veterans who collectively have been through dozens of primary contests. What these rivals didn't realize at the onset of the 2004 campaign is that the Internet is the ultimate organizing tool. Until the late '90s, parties and campaigns tried to determine who would vote for them by looking primarily at who had shown up for the previous election. The problem was that the method didn't account for important nuances--such as newly registered voters, people who usually vote but just happened to miss the previous election, people who are registered one way but tend to vote the other--which would make the get-out-the-vote effort even more efficient. That's where information technology (I.T.) has had a significant impact in the past few years. Trippi has always been a self-described technophile. One of Trippi's first acts on behalf of the Dean campaign (he was a consultant at the time) was to negotiate a contract with Meetup.com--an online service that helps people with common interests find one another and plan local gatherings.Meetup figured perfectly into Trippi's grand campaign strategy. He reasoned that Dean's antiwar, anti-Bush message would resonate at the grassroots, meaning Dean could raise impressive amounts of money from a large base of small donors.

Well aware of the havoc wreaked by Reverend Al Sharpton in many a New York election, Democratic Party strategists are exceedingly nervous about Sharpton taking his racialist political theater to the national stage. Many fear that, if not shown the proper obeisance by the party and its eventual nominee, he will use his oratorical gifts and trademark grievance politics to convince minority voters that they might as well stay home during the 2004 presidential elections. At the same time, Democrats worry about what will happen if their party gets too snuggly with the reverend. But, as much as Democrats might point the finger at Sharpton, he is more a symptom than a cause of the party's racial woes. But, if democrats are forced to go begging to Sharpton, they largely have themselves to blame, having failed to anticipate and respond to the many factors conspiring to return racial politics to the forefront of the party. First among these is former President Bill Clinton's departure from the White House. The second factor contributing to this racial predicament is the departure of Clinton's chosen heir, former Vice President Al Gore. While Gore enjoyed the history and credibility with black voters to challenge Sharpton's racial strategy (it's notable Sharpton didn't run against him in 2000), the current crop of Democratic candidates lacks this advantage. Yet another reason for the political vacuum Sharpton has stepped into is, of course, the fall from grace of his one-time mentor Jesse Jackson. Internal party politics have proved to be another sore point.
